Burz is the
middle Persian name for the Indo-Iranian divinity of waters. Burz is also known as Ahura Berezant in the texts of the
Avesta, and also as
Apam Napat in Avestan and Vedic
Sanskrit. Burz is a Yazad (Avestan:
Yazata) in
Zoroastrianism and later
Persian mythology.
Mary Boyce suggests that the proto-Iranian Apam Napat incorporated many of the features of a proto-Indo-Iranian equivalent of
*vouruna, who in turn may be the Vouru-kaša (luminous ocean) of Persian mythology. In Persian mythology, Apam Napat has also some military aspects and is said to keep rebellion in check.
